What is it about?
The ultimate objective of this research is to evaluate the biological activities of zinc oxide nanoparticles, in terms of antioxidant and antibacterial activity, compared with phytochemical leaf extracts from Pistacia lentiscus L., a speciesre presenting a major source of bioactive molecules with diverse biological activities.

Why is it important?
our results are very encouraging. E.coli and P. aeruginosa strains that were resistant to the extract stested became considerably more sensitive to NPsZnO. However, their antioxidant activity was very modest.
Perspectives
Optimizing synthesis conditions, such as studying the effect of zinc acetate concentration, temperature, agitation time, and annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles. "It is also desirable to extend the antibacterial study to other antibiotic-resistant strains and determine the mechanism and kinetics of bacterial growth inhibition by these nanoparticles.
